I wouldnt really consider buddhism a religion like christianity per say. And there is no god in buddhism you worship or pray too. I go to a won buddhist temple by me, and there are no statues of gods or anything, its more about meditating, and getting in touch with your spirit. Which is one thing i think many people have confused about buddhism. Buddhism is a way of life, a philosophy, a psychology, a way of thinking, through which we may ourselves take on the responsibility of determining how our life-bearing kamma (karma) will work out for us. Meditation is one of the procedures of mental discipline and purification through which we may begin to learn such responsibility. So just thought i would throw that out there.:smokin:
